Fans with tickets to Grapefruit League Spring Training games in Florida will also get a special chance to see the Dominican Republic, Italy, Puerto Rico and the United States square off in World Baseball Classic action.

Attendees with used Spring Training tickets will have the opportunity to purchase a Bullpen Reserved or Baseline Reserved ticket for the two World Baseball Classic games taking place on Tuesday (1 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET).

Team USA is coming off a dramatic 9-4 victory Sunday over Canada, rallying twice with a combined six-RBI performance from Eric Hosmer and Adam Jones. The U.S. team will play in the night matchup Tuesday against Puerto Rico with Italy facing the Dominican Republic in the 1 p.m. game.

Tickets will be sold for $5 to fans presenting the tickets at the Marlins Park Ticket Office. Fans are also invited to attend the workouts for free.

This is the the first year the World Baseball Classic is officially sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) with the winner being crowned the 2013 World Baseball Classic Champion and the IBAF World Champion.
